Things can only get better

Thank you for your kind comments 💕 Cherry the kylies are a great idea for the bed and his chair, will definitely get a couple. No idea what really brings it on because he can go for a couple of weeks with no mishaps then it starts up again. Really we need a downstairs toilet. We could convert the under stairs cupboard but we’re having the windows done now. Something else  to add to the ever growing list. 

DD has got to have a Covid test before she can go back to work, someone she works closely with at Mr M has tested positive this week.

Can only applaud you for all that you do.  I'm sure you've looked into this, but is there any kind of respite care available, even for a few hours? Or are your secret sanity outings the only possibility?  You do need to do whatever it takes to keep you sane.  Difficult when Mr SA can't see how important even a little time to yourself is.   Love Humdinger x

Oh SA I do feel for you, would a toileting routine help,so if you know your going to be busy Mr SA could go to the toilet first and at regular times during the day to try and establish some sort routine, is your only toilet in the bathroom or seperate so he can get in there if your in the bath 🤢🙁xx

The toilet is in the bathroom. We need a separate one but won’t happen just yet. I ask him if he needs the loo before I have a bath but I think his urge to go comes on quickly. It happens randomly there’s no pattern or trigger so can’t predict it.

Humdinger no way would he accept respite care so the sneaky days out are my sanity in normal times.

I know its not the ideal answer but would a commode in the bedroom help or is the urgency too much for him to get there. If you dont want to have the hassle of washing kylie have you thought of the puppy training pads. ( Quite reasonable from BM if you have one)

Just a thought - could he be having absences when he has these accidents? 

Hope dd is ok and not harbouring the virus. It’s the last thing you need in your household. If she tests negative can she start going out and about again or does she need to isolate for the full 2 weeks.

Evening all, happy Sunday 😎

It’s been a busy day, not stopped all day. Went up to Aldi for opening time at 10am, OMG the queue 😱 It did move quickly though so not complaining. I only went for the Pinch of Nom books at £5.99 each and their own brand pink gin. Anyway got the books which are brilliant and the gin is absolutely gorgeous. It’s exactly like Whitley Neill’s blackberry gin and only £14.99 for a litre 👍

No problem at the weekend doing over 15k steps a day just because I’m on my feet a lot. Have shampooed the carpets, luckily only have 2 carpets - bedroom and hall/stairs, everywhere else is hard floors thank goodness. 

No mishaps with Mr SA since Friday 👍 He’s been really tired and sleeping a lot. Milann I don’t know if he has absences when he has his accidents it’s hard to tell with him as he’s often not with it. 

DS’s cat has gone missing and the GKs especially DGS are devastated. She doesn’t usually wander off, they don’t live in an area with busy roads so it’s a worry. She’s been missing since Thursday 😢

DD’s Covid test arrived today via Amazon. Fingers crossed it’s negative. She’s not allowed back at work until she tests negative. I think Mr SA and I have had Covid back in January before it became known. He was very poorly, high temperature, he was wet with sweat, very bad cough, lost his sense of taste and couldn’t eat, he was so bad at one point I thought he had pneumonia and would end up in hospital, his chest was making awful noises. I had a bad cough and high temperature a few days after him but it wasn’t as bad. Not that this means we can’t get it again.

Hope everyone has had a good Sunday x

Oh SA - can only echo everyone on Mr SA's accidents and offer even more virtual gin!☹️ 

And hope your DD is ok.

It does sound as though you may have both had the virus SA. It may mean you wouldn't get it as badly again but we don't really know enough about it do we. I hope DD gets a negative result.

I hope the cat comes home. I read today about a cat who was found after being missing for three years 🐈 .
